Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Panasonic FX48 and Pentax WG-1 GPS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FX48 has external dimensions of 95 x 53 x 22 mm (3.74 x 2.09 x 0.87″) and weighs 150 g (0.33 lb / 5.29 oz) (including batteries). Pentax WG-1 GPS has external dimensions of 116 x 59 x 29 mm (4.55 x 2.3 x 1.12″) and weighs 167 g (0.37 lb / 5.89 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FX48 and the Pentax WG-1 GPS. Panasonic FX48 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 21mm narrower, 6mm shorter and 7mm thinner than Pentax WG-1 GPS.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FX48 and Pentax WG-1 GPS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FX48 is 17g lighter than the Pentax WG-1 GPS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-1 GPS, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FX48.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Pentax WG-1 GPS's 2.70" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FX48's 2.5" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
